  • basePath (string): Path to custom template folder. Default is 'crc-templates'.
  • [templateName] (array): Array of files to be generated from the custom template. For example, myTemplate: [ myTemplate.js.js, myTemplate.css.js ]

Using custom templates

1. Create template files in a folder. Note the naming convention [filename].[extension].js.

- my-templates
  - index.js.js
  - index.css.js

1. Each template file is a JavaScript that takes componentName as argument and returns a new string.

module.exports = componentName => (
`console.log(Hello ${componentName}!);`
);

1. Add the custom template to crc.config.js.

module.exports = {
  custom: {
    basePath: 'my-template',
    template1: [
      'index.js',
      'index.css'
    ]
  }
}

1. Run the command with -c option (or --custom option).

npx crc -c template1
